Hello friends! There are lots of fun monthly card kits subscriptions available, but did you know the Not 2 Shabby Shop also offers a Paper Pad Club? On the 1st of every month, they release two 6×6 paper pads. You can buy the paper pads as a one time purchase, but by subscribing, you save 18% off retail. If you use a lot of patterned paper, this is a fun subscription option.
Their February 2023 paper pads feature fun fireflies and dragonflies. You will receive Glow and Winged Beauties. Both collections include cut apart images and sentiments. The owner of Not 2 Shabby was kind enough to send me both paper pads. You could use the collections for so many different occasions.
I made a total of 24 cards and still have a ton of paper leftover.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All of my cards are American standard A2 size. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Not 2 Shabby’s February 2023 Paper Pad Club collections.

Both paper pads are so pretty! You must have been so happy using pink and teal AND purple and gold. The cut-aparts are really cute. I love both the fireflies and lightning bugs. It would be hard to pick a favorite. Thanks for showing your cheery cards!!
Beautiful cards, Kristie. Lucky you to receive both pads and be able to create so many delights. The dragonflies are so pretty and delicate and very pink! Sweet! The lightning bugs/fireflies are so bold and fun. Thank you so much for sharing! Crafty hugs!
